Mxy clearly indicated a belief that communism could work under "ideal" conditions. While not a ringing endorsement of the concept, it is still something of a theoretical endorsement.

That is not what he said or meant. His statement clearly says that Chile was a testing ground for if communism would work and that the US was afraid that the country would stay that course. His earlier statement had clearly said that the government would have most likely been voted out in the next election.



His statement

    (a) theorized that communism could work;
    (b) theorized that a communist government would, despite all historical evidence to the contrary (USSR, Cuba, China, etc.) abide by free elections and allow itself to be voted out of office


Again, while not a ringing endorsement, still more pro-communism than history would seem to justify.
